Also, does anyone have any ideas as to what to use on REALLY chapped lips?

Cymex/Blistex I suppose but for some reason I'm thinking Sudocream, it seems to be a miracle worker for loads of things. But not to be used under any circumstances in public places. Ideally use it overnight if you sleep alone. It would look bad on your lips but might help.

Oh Rosemary have a non dodgy hug I hope things improve soon for you.

Nice stash list Hanval - now lets see the make up...:rotfl:

One IN to report - a freebie Nivea Body Lotion.

No other IN's or UU's so far. I only have one wipe left in my Elle MacPherson travel wipes that I keep at my work. That will be gone in the next day or two.

I swear by Blistex - use it all the time! Makes my lips feel lovely and soft. Nivea do a stick lip balm for chapped lips, think its blue, feels slimey on though

Two UU for me today
V05 Perfect Lengths spray - WIBA yes (if they still do it!), it has lasted ages, smells gorgeous and does exactly what is says, but i have a superdrug own brand one to use first
L'Oreal Elnett Hairsrpay - WIBA yes!!! Have another one to work thorugh first though :P

Alanis

! You can use Sudocream on your lips?!?!

Hmm, I'll have to try Sudocream by night and Blistex by day =] thanks guys!!

I have some amazing Neutrogena stuff I bought in France. It is by far the best stuff I have EVER used on chapped lips, and I got it when I had the most shockingly chapped lips I have ever had. I don't know if you can buy it in England, but it is called 'Neutrogena Baume Fluide', but when I googled 'Neutrogena Fluid Balm' (the literal translation) I got nothing. However, they do have several other lip products, and I just googled 'Neutrogena + lip' and this came up from Boots.: http://www.boots.com/en/Neutrogena-Lip-Care_1415/. The stuff I have was more a fluid you could push out of a tube, but it might be worth a go. Word of warning, though: it healed from the inside, not out. It took a few days, but I still put a few coats of whatever other lip balm I had on top just to make it feel less bad. It definitely WAS the Neutrogena that did it, though, as I had been using other balms for weeks at that point, to no avail, and my lips were really deeply chapped.

Alanis, make sure you don't get alcohol gel on your lips or it will make them much much worse too. Thinks what it does to your hands

Hi folks, just popping by! Haven't had a chance to catch up but just done my stash list for May. I won't post it here as it'll take up pages and pages just on it's own! I thought I'd done ok for March/April, but evidently I failed epically!!! I have also added (finally) the toiletries I keep at my parents for when I go home for weekends, which has bumped it up a little too.

Current stash stands at around 450 items. Which I think is about the same as when I first joined back in March, despite having a large box in the corner of my room set aside for Give and Makeup/ebaying - which I've not included in my new stash list as it's all definitely on the way out.

Slightly depressing - but I now have absolutely no excuse. There is literally nothing I possibly need this month - and for a few more to come. So hopefully this will be my first successful no buying month, and I can try to get through using up some of my splutterers!

Hope everyone is doing ok! Will try to catch up on posts soon and drop in regularly!

Thanks, Valm just ordered it will keep the shatter coat and give one of the colours as a gift (the mushroom I think). Thought it was a good price and can't wait to try the silver shatter! Got 5.05% Topcashback aswell. :j
It came to £33.23 so that works out at £5.54 per item for 5 full 15ml sizes and the avoplex to go treatment - bargain!

The AD won me over. Looking forward to the one with the Autumn/Winter colours in it. The silver shatter will go to Emma and I'm actually looking forward to trying the mushroom one although whether it will suit my skin tone I'm not sure. MrM thinks we won't be looking at OPI in the USA now though :rotfl:

I've updated my signature and am hoping that keeping an eye on the spending this way will make this one of the only purchases in May. I do need some more Decleor Herbal Clay Mask but as Emma has a tube of the Superdrug one I'm going to pinch this for a while and see how I go. My skin is a mess at the mo though due to all the extra choccy and alcohol I've been having (blumming Bank Holidays to blame!!)

Have a good day everyone.

Have a good day!

I managed to uu the BS Moringa BB this morning. Not a fan, there are other BS flavours I prefer such as Sweet Lemon.
